Awesome, I hope this catches on, or at least serves as a tiny argument why egoists might not want to buy SUVs.
In our small town, you practically can’t park an SUV on most parking spaces without reaching into the also-far-too-narrow sidewalk or street, but law enforcement is far too lenient for the egoists to care.
The dumb part is that most Cookie Banners do not actually adhere to the law. While I do see room for improvement in the law itself, those improvements will go unseen, too, if the law is not enforced.
I feel like most of the layoffs and the flooded market happened in the US. Judging by the name, bleistift is from the EU…
I also just feel like I’m not writing words for the fun of it. They’re chosen to convey information in a very intentional way to a given target group. Like, just now in that previous sentence, I changed “in a certain way” to “in a very intentional way”, because that’s more precisely what I wanted to say. I try to convey lots of nuances in relatively few words.
That’s my #1 criticism of LLMs, that they just blather on and on. And ultimately, precise nuance requires understanding the topic, the context and the target group, which, if you’d describe it to an LLM, would take longer than to write the actual text itself.
You say that like anyone knows how Fahrenheit even works.
I came into this comment section wanting to make the same argument, but I guess, you could also be carrying around a USB-C-to-audio-jack adapter in addition to your wired headphones…
Just in time as the “but you promised 1.5 degrees” sentence expires…
Of course, yes. I’m just explaining why there’s more political motivation to not be hit by a car than a motorcycle.
They do have a history of such things happening, yes, which is why my comment exists in the first place. Normally, I would assume this to just be the result of regular shitty management practices paired with regular shitty profit motives.
The history makes it look like they might genuinely have a higher motive here, and I’m saying I still don’t think so, because it would be far too petty and I don’t see them benefitting that much from it.
A motorcycle has a higher chance of killing its rider rather than bystanders, when compared to cars.
Most of it?
Google is blocking popular instances these days, so yeah, you basically need to find an unpopular instance, which usually means it’s new and may not live for long, or it will quickly become popular, because it works, which will cause Google to block it.
Yeah, Google started blocking popular instances of Invidious and Piped in May this year: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/3822
Every so often, it may start working again when those instances get a different IP address, but it usually doesn’t last more than a few days…
The thing is, I really don’t think, Google would care about Firefox. Firefox is sitting at negligible percentages of usage share. The only real competitor to Chrome is Safari and that’s because of iOS.
I guess, they might impact Safari on macOS with this, but someone would have to try this out to actually see, and ultimately, this could still just be a dumb mistake.
Having said that, Google holds a near-monopoly in both video content and web browsers. They have a special duty to not disadvantage competitors and even if this was an honest mistake, I do think, it deserves a slap on the wrist.
British people also have mashed peas as their guacamole-but-not.
I have my repos on Codeberg and one of the ‘disadvantages’ is that, well, it’s a non-profit, so I genuinely don’t want to waste their resources.
They ask you to only host open-source repos there, meaning that using it for backups of shitty personal projects, even if I would throw in an open-source license, is just out of the question for me.
And that has weirdly been a blessing in disguise. Like, if it’s not useful for humanity to see, do I really care to keep it around forever?
And I’ve had three projects now where I felt an obligation to push them over the finish line of actually making them a useful open-source project. Which had me iron out some of the usability shortcuts I took, made me learn a good amount of code quality stuff and of course, just feels good to complete.
I mean, at this rate, I’m imagining Microsoft will have hollowed out OpenAI in a few years, but I could see them buying Boston Dynamics, too, yes
Yeah, I do also think, it could be built today. But I mainly just don’t expect such glasses to have enough mass market appeal that it would actually be available by 2030…
Using such glasses? I realized, I didn’t explicitly say that in the comment you replied to…
Someone below suggested that it removes commercial incentive to get people addicted, which makes sense to me. Additionally, those clubs will serve as a support group, if anyone does struggle with addiction or other unwanted side effects.
